Please take the time
to read this article... it is long, however, you will be glad you did!

ALL CITIZENKAT KITTENS ARE SPECIAL AND
DIFFERENT THAN MOST THE REST!!!
WE PRIDE OURSELVES IN GOING ABOVE AND BEYOND FOR OUR CATS AND FUTURE PET
ADOPTERS! ALL KITTENS ARE RAISED IN AN EXTREMELY SOCIAL ENVIRONMENT - USUALLY IN
MY BEDROOM. THEY ARE VACCINATED, MICROCHIPPED, COME WITH WRITTEN CONTRACT,
SPAYED/NEUTERED
PRIOR TO PLACEMENT AND COME FROM REGIONAL WINNING, SUPREME GRAND CHAMPION LINES.

ADOPTION PROCESS: All kittens are carefully placed into loving, responsible
homes. If you are interested in purchasing a kitten or cat, please email me and
then I will set up a time to have a phone conversation with you. I feel it is
best that we get to know each other before I place a cat/kitten in a home. We prefer to place locally,
but we will consider great homes further away. We do encourage you to be
on our waiting list as we have few litters a year. If there is a serious
interest or a deposit is accepted, then we can arrange for a home visit.

PRICE:Citizenkat pet Sphynx kittens are $1575.
(The kitten will be vaccinated, microchipped and spayed/neutered) We do not charge
according to color or eye color. We do not offer discounts or
bargains unless we have a special needs cat or a retired breeder. We also
do not barter for goods or services (ie website design, etc)

WHEN: Kitten is expected
to go home within one week after "go-home" date. Pet kittens are placed in their new homes
at 12-14 weeks. A lot of people know that puppies can be placed ethically at 8
weeks. This is not true of cats. Cats should not be placed until they are at
least 12 weeks old. Kittens sent home earlier are not developed enough nor
have they had their 12 week vaccine. Placement varies depending
on development which varies by litter and even by individual kittens in the
litter.

SHIPPING: If
you are far away, you can physically fly here (Philadelphia or Trenton Airport) and pick up
your cat in person. Then your new kitten will ride with you under the seat on
the flight back. We do NOT ship
in cargo as we believe our babies are precious and deserve royal treatment. We
believe that kittens should not be sent in cargo because they will be scared, sitting in the belly of a plane and around other
various animals. There have been incidents where pets have been injured or
killed flying in cargo. It can be time consuming to do this, but your new baby
is worth it.

We will fly your kitten to you for the cost of the airline
ticket and additional fee. Please email for details about that.

DEPOSIT INFO:A non-refundable deposit of $500
is required to hold the cat. We do not take deposits before kittens are born. Deposits must be received within 5 business days
after decision. This deposit shows a serious interest in the kitten and I am
also then required not to place the cat with anyone else and I send potential
pet buyers elsewhere for their kittens.

VISITATION / PHOTOS:
We welcome all pet adopters to come visit often to see their babies grow up.
Some breeders do not allow this for a variety of bogus reasons. If you are not
local or cannot make many visits, you will be sent photos and videos about once
a week of your kitten so you will get to see your new baby grow up.

BUT THERE ARE OTHER PLACES THAT OFFER
KITTENS FOR LESS!WHY THE PRICE?
Citizenkat is different than most! While this may seem like a lot of
money... it is worth it. And usually, you get what you pay for.

From our bed to yours!!!!! Citizenkat kittens are raised with us in our
bedroom or living room- they are well socialized and trained to be great pets.
They learn how to use the scratching post, my friends come over
once a week to see them so they get used to strangers. I vacuum
once a day so they get used to loud noises. They are taken for
car rides to ensure they learn how to travel ok. The kittens
have tons of human contact and I raise 1-2 litter at a time so
they get all the attention they need and deserve. These babies
will be the new loves of your life! My kittens are super
affectionate, will want to be around you all the time and most
will be at the door greeting strangers.

As all kittens should be, they are microchipped,
spayed/neutered, and vaccinated.

We are tested FIV and Feline Leukemia free,
our adults are periodically PCR tested for infectious diseases
to ensure we have a healthy disease-free cattery.

Written Contract - Citizenkat kittens come with a
2 year genetic guarantee and are
seen by the vet several times before you adopt your selected kitten. We
will replace your kitten if FIP, many breeders do not. Ask
before you purchase your kitten.

Show cats-The parents of your kitten is from
Supreme Grand Champion, Grand Champion, Regional Winning Cats.
Even though your kitten was not selected to be in a
show/breeding program, our kittens are still beautiful and even
most the ones that go as pets could be shown. I show because we
care a great deal about ensuring our cats are the best in every
aspect. Breeders who do not show on a regular basis probably do
not have cats that meet the Sphynx standard and are often not as
educated and well versed as those that do.

I am a TICA Sphynx Breed Section member and a
voting breed member of CCA (Canadian Cat Association) I've been
showing/breeding Sphynx since 2003).

All
breeding cats have their hearts scanned by a board certified cardiologist
yearly.
Scans for a board certified cardiologist can be pricey ($200-$800).

All
breeders are DNA tested to ensure they are not carrying for certain diseases.
(Color, disease profiles).

I keep less than 8 adult breeding cats at any given time so
they get the love and attention they deserve. My males are
altered by the time they are 3 so they get to live the life of a
loved pet. My males run around each evening
supervised with their stud pants on. If someone has a separate
facility or "cattery" where cats are not living with the people
of the house, it is a highly suspect practice - no matter how
big or how clean.

When I place my kittens, I
want to hear about them as often as you like to tell me. I always want contact
and I am willing to offer any assistance with anything you may need with your
cat. So, you have my support always! This is priceless.

I try to lead by example. I only work with
other breeders who have similar ethics and guidelines to mine.
This means I will not purchase a cat from a cattery that has
poor conditions or breeding practices. I do not want to support
or contribute to any inhumane treatment of animals. I hope you
chose to do the same! I also do not support any
exploitation where Sphynx are illegally outcrosses to other
breeds to create new breeds. Neither CFA or TICA support them
and neither do I. The Elves, Dwelves and Bambinos are not
recognized by any association, so any claims that they are -
they are false.

*You cannot assume you will get this somewhere else. Some catteries have every color,
claim to have "rare" colors, or lots of litters
and cheap kittens. I have heard of breeders with over 30 to 50
cats. Some of them are smart and just have 4-5 cats on their
website and really have a lot more. Check out any breeder well!
Go to their house and see how all their cats live.
I have no idea how those cats can possibly be socialized and
loved! If you purchasing from them, it is helping keep a
kitten mill sustained. Plus, it is not likely your kitten will
have been socialized properly and may not be healthy. If I am
not local enough for you, or you cannot wait to get a kitten, or
I do not have kittens available - I will gladly refer you to
someone reputable who you will get a fantastic kitten from. You
WILL BE GLAD YOU DID!

I HAVE DECIDED TO BUY FROM A BREEDER THAT SCANS
REGULARLY FOR HCM:

This is great news! First, you must check and see if the
breeder uses board
certified cardiologists. There are a few breeders that scan just at their (non
board certified) vet's office and will NOT tell you unless you ask. My regular
vet would not even offer and/or refuse to scan a cat because he acknowledges
that he is not
skilled enough to do it. It is not ethical for a non-board certified vet to scan a cat
for HCM as the results may be incorrect either way. I have heard of (non-board
certified aka regular) vets diagnosing cats with HCM, then when taken to the cardiologist
they do not have HCM and vice versa) The board certified cardiologist go to
school for an extra 3 years and there is a VERY good reason for this. The heart
is very complex.

I WANT TO BREED!
Imagine you are going off to college - this is the amount of information you
will need to learn to breed responsibly and ethically.

We will be happy to assist you, but
all new breeders working with us must show an altered Sphynx first before we will consider
placing a whole cat. Breeding is a time
consuming and requires a ton of learning and relationships need to be developed.
We firmly believe all responsible/ethical breeders have a
responsibility to show a minimum of 4 times a year. It is best to get an alter
to ensure the Sphynx breed is for you and you enjoy showing! This way you get to
meet other breeders, learn about genetics, pedigrees and the standards and
eventually be able to select the best cat for your program. If you do get
a show alter from us, and it works out mutually, we will place another kitten
with you for the pet cost, not the breeder cost. You might think it is time
wasted, but going into something more prepared and slowly is the best way and is
actually time saved!

Please
COPY AND PASTE the
QUESTIONNAIRE on this page below. This questionnaire is helps both
myself and the pet buyer. It determine how much education you need
from me and gives me details to help place the best possible kitten for your
home.

PLEASE CHECK HERE FOR UPDATED PHOTOS OF AVAILABLE CATS. UPDATING MY WEBSITE
CAN BE CUMBERSOME,

I may have some kittens available upon deciding who I am keeping. Please
contact me for more information.

Below
are F3 Sphynx furry outcross kittens.

A BIT ABOUT OUTCROSSING: Many that are familiar with
dogs question this practice. However, both major associations, TICA and CFA,
in the United States approve outcrossing for some of the breeds. This is
done to improve the genetic diversity of the line and hopefully improve
health. When doing permissible outcrossing, we are not trying to create a
new look or breed but add new genetics and bring the look back within 2-3
generations. This is quite different than creating a designer breed that is
not approved (ie Elf, dwelf, bambino, etc) and will not ever be approved by
the associations.

Here, we use domestic cats as outcrosses. We only use
ones that have great health and temperament. They are heart screened and DNA
tested for all genetic diseases that have tests. Temperament is very
genetic, so it is a key deciding factor. Kerri Kitty is the foundation cat
for this outcross line and everyone who comes to our house gets to meet her.
I call her the ambassador because she demands pets from everyone who comes
to visit.

While we adore Devons, we do not feel the Devons are
truly an outcross that promotes health as they are already in the Sphynx
background. American Shorthairs are another permissible outcross. They are a
generally healthy and hearty breed and we might consider using them in the
future.

They are just as loving and affectionate as their bald
counterparts!

If you love the Sphynx personality but prefer fur,
these kittens are for you! Or if you need a companion for your Sphynx, these
are purrfect. When you adopt an outcross Sphynx kitten, not only are you
getting a wonderful companion for life, you are helping breeders like me
continue to do work in order to keep the breed healthy and robust.

They are available for a fraction of the cost. Males are
$325 and females are $375.

Our outcross program is done with temperament and personality in mind. With
this being a priority in our breeding program, our furry kittens are as
friendly and affectionate as the bald kittens. The price for furry aka fully
coated female kittens is $375, fully coated males are $325 (neuters are less
expensive). This fee includes spay/neuter, microchip and vaccines. This is a
great way to add a companion to your home that has the Sphynx personality if
you prefer the fur.

Adult adoption fees for furry outcrosses range from $145-250

To reserve one, a completed application, phone interview and then a deposit
is required.

I do have one retired breeder FULL COATED outcross available. She needs a
home with only 1-2 other cats, (preferably male) and an adult only home.
Scarlett is amazingly friendly and will be a delight for anyone who adopts
her. HCM scanned normal in the past year as well. She is a good traveler and
good for brushing and baths.

Retired breeders make wonderful pets still as they are
still as playful as the kittens!

Occasionally retired breeders will be available to approved
homes. As a breeder, I cannot keep all cats and they need to find that special
forever home. Unfortunately some people believe that breeders just "throw away"
their retired cats. For me, placing retired cats is one of the hardest things I
have to do as a breeder. I loved them for several years and they are truly my
pets and forever in my heart. Cats do well in smaller numbers and to continue
breeding these beautiful cats... it is best that I rehome
some of them.

For this reason, retired breeders will only go to very
special homes and those who have adopted from us before get priority for retired
breeders. Priority also goes to raw feeding homes as my cats have been fed raw
all their lives. Another requirement is that at least two times, unless
otherwise noted, I will pay to have the cat scanned at my cardiologist (and only
my cardiologist). This means you have to drive to Towson Maryland or drive the
cat back to my home. You are also required to give 6 month updates with photos.

Retired breeding cats are usually about $800-900 and include
neuter or spay, microchip, previously HCM scanned, and a current dental.

Please email me for information on retirees. Usually
my retirees have homes months before they are actually placed.

MATTEO is a Cream and white male and he is AVAILABLE. He is 1
year old and is being retired young because I have already kept enough out of
him. He is heart scanned normal, and will have a dental, neuter and microchip
before going home. His fee is $900.

He is an amazing cat who will do well with children and other
pets.

Please contact me for more information

MY BREEDING PARTNER CAROLE IN MARYLAND has a female named
Rachel available. Red point and white with blue eyes.

IMPORTANT: We care about the health and future of
our cats, so there is a requirement that these retired adults be available for
HCM scanning in the future at least once a year. The scan is a simple, 10 minute
exam on an ultrasound machine that is non-invasive and will be of no cost to
you.
